Use Volvo Vida Dice to Reset Volvo Climate Control Module Problem

Here share a case about Vida Dice solve Volvo A/C control module problem.

Situation: A/C - Vent Temperature Cycles From Hot to Cold

NO: 87-54
DATE: 11-30-2005
MODEL: S60, S80, V70, XC70, XC90
MY: MY05 MY06
SUBJECT: Temperature Coming Out of the Climate Vents may Start to Cycle from Max Hot Back to Full Cold When Max Hot is Requested.
REFERENCE: Volvo VIDA Dice
This Tech-net note supersedes the previous 87-54 dated 11-02-2005. Please update your files.
DESCRIPTION:
If the temperature knobs are turned to max hot, the temperature coming out of the climate vents may start to cycle from max hot back to full cold with a period of 4-15 seconds. No Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored.
The number of steps on a temperature Damper Motor Module (DMM) may have increased from factory settings, causing the affected DMM to set a "not calibrated" flag to the Climate Control Module (CCM). This causes the climate system to self-calibrate over and over again resulting in the cycling temperature from the vents.


VEHICLES AFFECTED:
SERVICE METHOD:
The above mentioned symptom could be solved by a recalibration of the CCM.
For affected vehicles that are still in retailer stock, upgrade the cars during CPS or prior to customer delivery following the service method in VIDA:
1. Erase CCM DTCs.
2. Perform calibration of the CCM as follows:
- Select the "Diagnostics" tab followed by the "Vehicle communication" tab.
- Click the CCM box.
- Select the "Advanced" tab.
- Click "Checking LIN bus".
- Click "No" if no Damper Motor Module (DMM) has been replaced.
- Read and follow the instructions (to the right) carefully and click the VCT2000 symbol.
- Click the "Start" button (left on screen tool).
- Wait until status "Completed" is shown on the screen tool.
- Regardless of DTCs or no DTCs it is now OK to click the "Hide" button to continue.
- Click the "Continue" button to proceed.

3. Perform functional check of the climate system as follows:
- Start engine.
- Turn FAN speed to MAX.
- Select DEMIST and check airflow to windscreen.
- Select FLOOR and check airflow to floor.
- Select VENT and check airflow to dashboard vents.
- Turn to MAX COLD and check cold air from dashboard vents left and right.
- Turn to MAX HOT and check hot air from dashboard vents left and right.
- Turn temperature and fan speed controls to midrange.
- Select Recirculation and check difference in airflow noise in climate system.
- Switch off Recirculation and check difference in airflow noise in climate system.

4. Use VIDA to read CCM DTCs.
5. If CCM DTCs are present repeat step 1 to 4. If CCM DTCs are persistent after the third attempt, perform fault tracing according to VIDA.

Review on VIDA DICE Diagnostic Tool VOLVO 2014D

Got Volvo VIDA 2014D diagnostic tool for 80 (anniversary sales, the cheapest among several webs I went) from www.eobdtool.co.uk. It took 4 days to come here after I ordered it online. Well packed with a plastic box, including VIDA DICE device with OBD II cable, USB A to mini USB angled cable, and also a DVD with activated VIDA 2014D the English version.

Here are the pic about my VOLVO VIDA DICE Interface and the high-quality PCB of Dice.




I just got mine up and running. But I was never able to get my VIDA DICE to run on Win7 but after buying a Dell620 with XP SP3, it works well. It has some quirks with the pop-up windows but I been able to read and reset all the codes, re-program light delays, remove the after blow (annoys me to have a car that is doing stuff on its own, let it mold...)

I also reset the TCM so it shifts better.

Well worth it, although it would be better if the dice device can be used with Bluetooth. And it is a little inconvenient for the VIDADICE 2014D diagnostic tool to update softwarevia CD only.

Remember that it is also a service handbook in VIDA. its not only the diagnostics.

Ps. VOLVO VIDA DICE 2014D installation instruction for sharing:


Solution for 2005 Volvo XC70 no AWD concerns wheels slipping

Volvo diagnostic tool I use:
Volvo VIDA 2014D from obdtool.co.uk for €108.49 plus shipping to Netherlands

Car model and year:
2005 Volvo XC70

Car issue:
Got strange wheels slipping today when pulled hard from the stop. No blinking traction icon. A loud clank coming from rear end when I slowly turn with steering wheel at utmost position, sounds like ABS or, perhaps, it is ABS. Roads in MA are currently covered by usual crap left after snow has finally melted.

This is what I saw in a test drive with DiCE/VIDA attached to the car:
In neutral:


In drive, pulling from the stop, not very hard:

In R, backing up the hill:

I see nothing criminal. Oil pressure sensor shows linear reaction to AWD demand, does not look like stuck sensor, which jumps from idle pressure to purge valve release pressure.

Also there's inactive DEM-0006, which has happened at 204900 km, car has now 2062000 km (128113 mi). According to my notes, at the time of this error registered the car had other electrical gremlins, including no starts.

Pulled the DEM plugs, blown with compressed air. Plugs were clean, no signs of oxidation.

Other info on the car: when I bought it in November 2012, it had 80k miles on the clock, dealer serviced. I did stage 0 and, among other things, replaced AOC filter and oil. Both were clean, apparently recently changed. Angle gear had signs of removal, I bet collar sleeve was replaced. AWD was working in this winter, car plowed really well. 2 or 3 weeks ago I called it a season and swapped winter tires Generals Alitmax Arctic (licensed Gislaved Nordfrost) with all-season BFGoodrich Advantage T/A, which still had 3 mm (1/8") of thread left before tires call for a replacement. Of course I felt immediately how crappy is the traction on these tires after Generals/Gislaved (Swedes know how to make winter tires). On a rainy day car was banging at the rear in the every turn in a flooded multilevel garage, but that is exactly what I also have heard from the Audi with Torsen AWD in front of me (ABS was engaging).

So what do you guys think I'm looking at? Unsatisfactory worn out tires, which easily loose traction and make ABS upset, or is it the first sign of Haldex heading to Valhalla? I could not replicate torque steer and front wheels spinning on a hard pull, which are easily achievable on wife's FWD V70 with same model BFGoodrich tires.

I solve some problem as following shows:
it was Haldex pump. Replaced, and the rear axle does not feel like living its own life now.

Oil screen on my pump was not that bad... Oil had some clutch material dispersed in it, but still was green, uniform and of about right viscosity.


The job is tough, but not that bad. Probably it is 10x times easier on Gen 4 Haldex, where driveshaft flange does not cover the pump, so no need to drop exhaust and driveshaft for the replacement.

I bought 3 pullers in order to remove the flange on AOC side. The one which worked was actually Craftsman steering wheel puller found at Sears. Two jaw-type pullers didn't work at all.

The dealer managed to damage the main seal when oil was changed (before I bought the car - I know that work was done, and done by the dealer), so it was very slowly dripping through the flange. Lowest bolt was noticeably wet after sitting through the night.


It seems the main reason of failed AOC function was low oil level - didn't check it in two years since the last oil+filter replacement, and not before starting the job, but when I finally got the pump out I've collected way less oil than 0.5 liter I put back at the end. Anyway, after spending slightly over than a day under the car to get to that seal and the pump and the filter, I didn't want to do it one more time when 10-yo pump will finish its brushes or if it is in fact broken.

Though that could be an advise for other XC70 owners: check oil level if AWD started to misbehave, plus you see traces of oil on the flange or anywhere on Haldex unit. At least, if it turns out that the seal replacement didn't fix the leak, I'll be just topping up AOC with oil once a year or so

Using VIDA Dice troubleshoot Volvo Civic 2005

Car model and year:
2005 Volvo Civic

My intent and purpose:
My wife is thinking about replacing her trusty 2005 Civic with a wagon of some sort. I already own a Saab 9-2x Aero and thought it'd be comic if we had two competing not-100%-Swedish wagons in the driveway and got her a V50 T5.

I've owned one Volvo before, an 88 744 Turbo, and while it was occasionally charming to drive I was happy to get rid of it at the end. I didn't find the experience to be worth the maintenance effort and cost. I also helped a friend tune an 854 T5 up to ~400 BHP and raced it with him a few times. I appreciate Volvos but would not consider myself a fan or loyalist of the brand - I am not looking at V50 the car because it is a Volvo.
I am looking at the V50 because I want something safe, comfortable/quasi-luxurious (the Saab's interior isn't terribly nice or quiet), and reasonably fun to drive. Its primary purpose would be very short trips around town (my wife doesn't drive much) and longer road trips up and down the interstate. Its secondary purpose would be hauling our future kid and all the accoutrements that entails, and possibly a dog.

My Question:
I haven't driven one yet because none have shown up for sale in my area over the past few months, so I thought I'd possibly save some time by asking the board a few questions:

1) How nice is the interior, actually? To me it looks nice in photos but I've spotted some gripes about interior quality here.

2) How does it handle and drive? I've seen complaints about this as well.

3) AT vs MT? I prefer MT but my wife might insist on an AT. Is the AT super problematic?

4) What about all the other issues with the car? I hear of random needs to reflash tranny and ECU, various front end problems, engine problems, etc. Is there a comprehensive list somewhere?

5) I'm a shadetree mechanic; can I do most of the work on the car myself? How expensive are parts?

6) What problems have you had with your car? In your opinion, is the car worth all the reliability issues I see mentioned on the internet? If so, why?
I guess I should summarize that my primary concern is how much of a headache this car will be. As I've mentioned before, I didn't find my 744 to be worth it. I've owned German cars before and don't mind doing preventive maintenance or otherwise fixing things if the car makes up for it in performance and/or comfort. I'm just not sure about the value/lifestyle proposition of V50 ownership, so I'm hoping you guys can fill me in. 

Answers to #1, 2, & 3 are personal. You'll have to decide for yourself.

#4: A) Electric gremlins: I've hit unlocking gremlins where the car refused to respond to my remote, then cured itself after I "broke into" the car using the blade key.

B) Sunroof drains: the sunroof uses a system of drains at each corner or an open gutter. Any clogs of separated tubes can result in flooding. Easy DIY maintenance.

#5) While the engine layout is, um, "compact," mechanical work is straightforward and VERY rewarding compared to paying 6X the parts cost at a dealer. (e.g. spark plugs are $60 per set, or $280 to have a dealer replace them.) Parts costs are "up there," but they are for all cars. Browse tascaparts.com for a preview. I just priced a timing belt, and it was abut the same as I paid for a Chevy Aveo timing belt kit.

You will want to get a volvo vida 2014d multi-language diagnostic system. It costs about what a single dealer visit costs and gives you an encyclopedia of parts, troubleshooting, and repair procedures for all Volvos. You will still need to go to a dealer for software updating.

I recommend obdtool.co.uk volvo vida 2014 €108.49 to US,


#6: I have been catching up on "deferred maintenance" issues from my PO over the last six months, but I am happy with the solidity and spirit of my V50. Check TrueDelta -- Real Car Owners Driving Real Car Information for other reviews. Remember that there are 50 happy placid owners for each one of us internet hogs.
